From the very beginning of this song, the first few chords, you can tell we’re going on a journey. Almost seems like a winding path melody to me.
I kick myself in the ass daily almost because Nic asked me if I wanted to see Rainbow Kitten Surprise and I was like nah..so we didn’t end up going. Though I hadn’t discovered them yet, it was truly a missed opportunity. I really shouldn’t ever say no to new music.
Instead of me trying to describe who they are, I’m going to post the most hilarious Spotify description I’ve ever seen:
“…where genres simply don’t exist” made me laugh out loud because that’s the most amazing thing about RKS. Are they rock? folk? country? but they’re also kind of alt? why did I start typing in lowercase?
The stew that comprises RKS allows for a myriad of experiences if you listen to the record Seven and Mary. For me, one of most moving ones comes over this lyric:
“Say you love me like you used to, and we’ll vacation first class, I’m breaking your fall, you’re breaking my ass, you’re working all day, hating on all the bitches at work, you say you’re ok, you’re faking, fucked up, drinking all day, you give me a cup, and I’ll be damned if we can make it out of this alive, baby”
One of the themes in these top songs for me is that they are relatable. You, me, and anyone else can absolutely insert ourselves into these songs because they really are authentic. We’ve ALL faked it. We’ve ALL been fucked up.
Some really amazing songwriting highlighted here, and on this list in general.
“Say you didn’t see it, that I saw right through you, say you didn’t mean it that I mean nothing to you, like you said, do you believe me?, that I’ll be right for you, say you love me like you used to”
We’re all on our own journey, sure. As I mentioned in the I Hate Myself, Florence Pugh post though, there is absolutely a shared experience though, and a shared suffering of sorts, so it’s always sad to me that we don’t talk about that with one-another more. We’re all going through the same shit in so many cases. We could easily help one-another through it.
Thanks so much for reading! Enjoy! Let me know what you think of the song!
